My taxes will be processed by AI - maybe
The German tax government seems to be advancing in ways that are quite alright IMHO. I think that ELSTER-Online and the use of AI and algorithms in processing the data is just fine and shows how the government can do things right and make progress in their "digitization" endeavors. Bielefeld is facilitating new AI enhanced workflows: https://www.radioguetersloh.de/nachrichten/kreis-guetersloh/finanzamt-bielefeld-testet-ki-einsatz.html I live in Gütersloh though, so I might not be processed by their AI, but I contacted the tax office in Bielefeld for an internship and maybe I will get some more info about the matter.
